John Harrison is the mastermind behind P*nut. A Multi-Platinum and Grammy award winning producer, John Harrison has certainly earned his stripes in the music industry, collaborating and working with the likes of Dido, Faithless, James Arthur, Wiley, Emile Sande and Amy Winehouse. He’s now taking his wealth of musical knowledge and putting it into his new E.P ‘Wake Up.’
The tracks in ’Wake Up’ come tinged with Caribbean influence and wrapped up in heartwarming production. The E.P features the talented Franz Job and Quo, bringing emotionally-penned and infectious vocal lines to the colourful canvases of each track. The E.P comes with tranquil, irresistble remixes of each track, providing another dimension to the E.P.
Speaking about the lead track ‘Never Stop’, P*nut says: “Franz and me started never stop around 16 years ago in my London studio —- we only had one verse but it felt so honest we knew we’d come back one day to finish .. recently in Trinidad we finished the song together ——the song is about honesty and communication with loved ones.”
He’s also achieved accolades for his solo work too, with his second solo album ‘Sweet As’ being signed to Sony/BMG. The album received glowing reviews within the UK hip-hop world, and was supported by Tim Westwood on Radio 1. Alongside this, track ‘Wake Up (Murder He Wrote Remix)’ was played on 1st November on Radio 1’s Annie Nightingale’s show and John is also set to be interviewed on 25th of November on Refuge Radio. With a growing fanbase and an infectious sound, we can see him taking this to the top.
